v1.4.0-alpha - Template System & Minimal Template

What's new in v1.4.0-alpha

Template System Finalized

• mailView() now falls back to the default template automatically when a view is missing in the active template
• Custom templates only need to override the views they want to change — everything else is inherited
• Switch templates by setting MAIL_UI_TEMPLATE=name in .env

Minimal Template

A second fully working template (MAIL_UI_TEMPLATE=minimal) that demonstrates the template system:

• Dark top-bar navigation instead of a sidebar
• Table-style inbox list
• Clean, card-based message view
• Compose, contacts, search, and settings fall back to the default template automatically

Template Contract

Each template's layouts/app.blade.php must implement:

• @yield('title') — page title
• @yield('content') — main content area
• @stack('scripts') — per-page JavaScript

Controllers pass $folders and $currentFolder to every authenticated view.
